This past Sunday, singer, songwriter and producer, Daniel Nahmod joined us as our guest musician at the Center for Spiritual Living.

We were blessed with, not only his songs during the service, but also a beautiful concert following the services. Those of us in attendance received an up close and personal look at who he is and got some insights on some of his most popular songs.

It's always special to get that "inside" look at someone you see online, hear their music, but really don't know. It's even more special to find out that they are, in fact, "normal!" (gasp!)

Daniel is certainly a heart-centered individual. He expresses from the heart his gift of singing and songwriting, his love of his family, and his true and genuine desire for others to enjoy his music.

He is also passionate about creating a space for other musicians to bring their gift to the world by offering scholarships to those who may not be able to afford to record their music.

Daniel is building a new recording studio to bring his own record label, Humanity Records, to a whole new level, but also to create the physical space for his scholarship winners to express their creative gifts.

Just as Daniel's work and passion help create a better life for humanity, so does our contribution to sharing, donating and supporting his cause. With every set of eyes who sees this post, we have the power to help another individual get his or her music out into the world.

Sharing is the very best part,
Sharing your home
Sharing your heart
Nothing's ever felt so good
As giving it away
Coming home at the end of the day, oh
Being happy isn't having the most stuff (oh no)
Happiness ain't having your own stuff (oh no)
Being happy isn't having the most stuff (oh no)
It's sharing your love.

The commitment for me personally is much more than dedicating two nights a week to my own personal spiritual growth.

It's
making sure I have child care. It's making sure my boys are bathed
early, already fed, and ready for bed by the time I leave for my
classes. By the time I get to a night class, I may be tired, but I also
know that when I leave that night, I will no longer be the person I was
walking in.

That could be an easy excuse to bow out of classes,
and yes, it would be much easier to do so, however, I know that the
commitments I have made to spiritual classes, business seminars, etc. in
the past have up-levelled my life in such a way that it's no longer an
option to stop.

I once heard, "If you aren't growing, then you are staying the
same."

Because of my continued growth in the last few years, I'm stronger, I'm worry-free,
I'm more successful, I'm more patient with my kids, I am more loving
and appreciative towards my husband. I'm better at what I do because I
continue to stretch myself. All because I committed to continued learning.

For every class I take there
are others committing to their same growth.

We grow together and thrive together!
We watch each other grow, we build a community of support and
guidance. I'm not alone in this endeavor, I simply ask that you take a
look in the mirror and ask, "How have I committed myself to my own spiritual growth?"

The lesson here is:
We commit to our families, our children, our jobs, etc. But it's MORE
important to commit to ourselves! As we continue to grow spiritually, we
automatically become better at all the roles we play in life...i.e. father, daughter, wife, husband, mother, father, etc.

I invite you to join me this week and be my partner in advancing our spiritual growth - Visit the Center's home page to see what classes are being offered!

Yesterday is gone, tomorrow has not arrived, and I lie in an eternalpresent filled with an everlasting good. There is nothing unhappy or morbid in my consciousness. I have no fear of yesterday nor do I anticipate tomorrow with anything other than enthusiastic expec-tation. Everything good in my experience shall create my future. Ihave no fear in looking backward or forward, but realize the eternalday in which I now live. Today is big with hope fulfilled, with loveand life well-lived. Tomorrow will provide its own blessings.~ Ernest Holmes

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. ~ W.H. Murray

Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
Begin it now. ~ Goethe
